Services members from the California Military Department participate in annual wildland firefighting training alongside counterparts from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection near lone, Calif., Apr. 22, 2023.
This year, National Guard service members from Utah, Wisconsin and Nevada also participated in the exercise to strengthen their interoperability ahead of California's fire season. Across the state, CAL FIRE uses the Cal Guard's CH-47 Chinook, UH-60 Black Hawk and HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters to aid with dropping water over complex fires and air rescue MEDEVAC capabilities. Wildland firefighting training has gone on annually since 1987. The training also qualifies various other positions, such as liaisons and other crucial military personnel, to receive credentialing to operate within the fire system and support their civilian emergency service counterparts.
